Tasmania is home to some of the best sailing in the world, and this proud tradition continues with tomorrow’s Launceston to Hobart Yacht Race (L2H).
This year’s L2H is the 14
th edition of the 285 nautical mile race which trails around the North East and East Coast of Tasmania.
The L2H competition is expected to be fierce again this year, with the race featuring some of Tasmania’s best local sailors and yachts.
Overall, there are 31 boats competing and more than 100 sailors taking part.
Tasmanians love nothing more than getting out and enjoying the best that our spectacular waterways have to offer – whether that is on a boat, in the water, or by dropping a line.

Millions of residents face Christmas in lockdown if Sydney fails control a coronavirus outbreak on the Northern Beaches within the next two days.
NSW recorded another 15 new infections on Monday, taking the total number of cases linked to the cluster to 83, with the majority centred around the wealthy beachside suburb of Avalon.
Contact tracers are working around the clock to nip the outbreak in the bud by finding everyone infected and those they came into contact with.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian on Sunday ordered the Northern Beaches into lockdown and urged the rest of Sydney to avoid non-essential travel until midnight on Wednesday.
